Resumen

SILVA AYCAGUER, Luis Carlos. Rules for scientific debate: reflections derived from pyramidal energy controversy. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2006, vol.32, n.3. ISSN 0864-3466.

For some years, news have been spread in the Cuban press and some scientific milieus about the properties and benefits - particularly as a therapeutic resource - of the so-called pyramidal energy, which is deemed to be astonishing by its own promoters. The topics have prompted reactions of apprehension or open criticism, which in turn have paved the way for scientific debate. Unfortunately, this debate has not always been conducted according to generally accepted rules in the realm of science. Our objective is not to intervene in this controversy, but to contribute to strengthen the general scientific culture of which the capacity for rational scientific debate is a key component. The use of a transparent language, the reasoned exchange of arguments along a logical path of discussion, the integrity and rigor in quoting references and the responsibility that scientists acquire when they either make or judge innovative proposals are some of the aspects that this paper is meant to reflect on

Palabras clave : Pyramidal energy; scientific debate.
